They put them back!

Sections 9 and 10 of Article I

As of noon, Pacific time Wednesday.

Yet the Wayback Machine's latest crawl currently has the version without those bits about Habeus Corpus and Emoluments..

Yep. They blamed a "coding error". Of course.

Section 10 is probably just collateral damage.

The real kicker is (probably) that this was removed:

“The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”

Mary Trump's substitute presenter suggested this too. https://www.youtube.com/live/PsZNk7C6--c
